This is definitely wholesome, but that is also a really cool rock. Everybody wins.

I live down the road from Poole.
This is probably the most exciting thing in the whole county tbh
-
You've got a man with his nob out etched into a hill. What more do you want?
-
So weird to think anyone else from Dorset would've even heard of Lemmy
-
I think anywhere with an IT presence is gonna have Linux people, and by extension potentially Lemmy users.
We do fit a stereotype 😆

As someone who worked for a (university) museum, I just know it made that worker's day to put that display together.
-
props to the museum, but also that's a pretty cool rock. good job bethan

Taking stones from children and displaying them!? The UK’s colonial ambitions knows no bounds!
-
That's really sweet. It matters to show that we all have a heart.
-
Any amateur geologists out there have any idea what kind of rock that is?
-
I'm not a geologist amateur or otherwise but it looks a lot like a flint stone which has those kinda chalky spots. I've got a very similar looking one from Rügen, an island in the North of Germany.

Ngl, Bethan has good taste in rocks. This was the right call by both parties.
-
Thanks for the repost!
-
Happy to! It was such a heartwarming story I had to share it 🥰 .

What a pretty rock! I wonder why it's coloured that way?
Enjoys

i really like that font
-
geometric, similar to futura

-
They were probably just thankful of having something to put in it.
-
Okay but is it worth more than a cool leaf?
-
Imo if a kid would be terminally sick or something then that would be wholesome but otherwise it is just funny
-
I think we just have too much media emphasis on such cases - they are absolutely important, but they make us forget that the very regular children doing something like this and adults empowering them is just as wholesome, precious, and important.
